It was a Tuesday morning that started out just like any other. I was hustling around the kitchen—getting breakfast on the table, reminding the kids to find their shoes, packing lunches and mentally running through my to‑do list for work. My husband, John, had already left for the office like he always did. Nothing about [...]
Adultery never starts with a hotel room key. It begins with a thought, a look, a small compromise that seems innocent in the moment. That’s why the most dangerous sentence a husband or wife can think is, “That could never happen to me.” The reality is, adultery doesn’t just happen to “bad marriages” or “weak [...]
For decades, many have believed that half of all marriages end in divorce. Thankfully, that statistic is no longer true. In fact, divorce rates in America have been on a steady decline since the 1990s. Research shows that nearly two-thirds of couples who marry in the 2000s will stay married for life. That’s encouraging news, [...]
“Fixing your husband” is a phrase many wives feel in their bones, especially when they watch a man they love make foolish, selfish, or spiritually dull choices. Scripture, though, never calls a wife to be her husband’s mechanic; it calls her to be his helper and companion under Christ. The goal is not control but [...]
Before we came to Christ, we were spiritually dead—cut off from the life of God and living under the power of sin. We might not have realized it at the time, but our hearts were separated from the true Source of love, peace, and strength. Everything we did, including how we related to others, flowed [...]
Did you know that God is not in the marriage remodeling business? He isn’t interested in doing minor repairs or surface improvements to make your relationship more comfortable. God’s desire is much greater—He wants to transform your marriage from the inside out. His goal is not reformation but transformation. The world offers countless marriage books, podcasts, and workshops that [...]
Have you ever been in a heated argument and finally blurted out, “Fine, I said I’m sorry—can we just drop it?” Or maybe you’ve heard (or said) something like, “All right, I said it. I’m sorry. Do you feel better now?” It’s amazing how often those two little words—I’m sorry—are expected to wipe the slate [...]
One of the most heartbreaking statements I hear in marriage counseling goes something like this: “I feel distant from my spouse.” Others might say, “I keep trying to get my husband to open up, but he just shuts down,” or “My wife doesn’t seem interested in me anymore. I feel like we’re living under the [...]
From the very beginning of human history, marriage has been central to God’s plan for humanity. It wasn’t conceived by human imagination or social necessity—it was instituted and ordained by God Himself. In Genesis 2:22, we read that God formed the woman and brought her to the man. That moment in the Garden of Eden [...]
Laying a good foundation during your child’s formative years is critically important in determining who and what they will become as adults. As parents, we want to see our children grow strong in character, faith, and self-discipline. Yet one of the hardest parts of parenting is realizing that change—especially when we are retraining behavior—doesn’t happen [...]
